Virtual Conference FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

NAFOA is working on the revised agenda and we are
finalizing the details of our upcoming virtual conference. We know there are a lot of questions and hope you find
the information below helpful.

What is the NAFOA's Virtual 38th Annual Conference?

NAFOA's Virtual 38th Annual Conference will be an opportunity for attendees to participate
in the conference from their communities. We will highlight several general session presentations and breakout
sessions. The virtual conference will take place on April 20-23, 2020. There will also be additional Financial
Friday sessions offered on April 17th and April 24th.

Why did NAFOA decide to transition to a virtual conference?

Your health and well-being are our top priorities. Out of an abundance of caution related
to COVID-19, we have made the decision to cancel the in-person conference in Nashville, TN. Instead, NAFOA
will be hosting an online virtual event.

Why should I attend the Virtual Conference?

The educational sessions at NAFOA's conferences are always high-quality, timely, and
informative. The virtual sessions will have the same benefits.

What should I do with my travel arrangements?

The three conference hotels, JW Marriott, Renaissance, and Hyatt House Downtown/SoBro have
canceled all room reservations in our conference hotel room blocks. Please contact the hotel directly if you
want to confirm that your reservation has been canceled. Attendees should contact airlines directly to cancel
their air travel. Many airlines have adjusted or waived their change fees due to COVID-19.

How much does the virtual conference cost?

The cost of the virtual conference is $300 for NAFOA Member Tribes and $400 for all other
participants. If you have already registered and paid for the spring conference, we will apply the payment
towards virtual conference registration. The remaining balance will be credited toward the Fall 2020 or Spring
2021 Conference.

Will NAFOA be offering CPEs for the Virtual Conference?

NAFOA will be providing the usual CPE certificate with the addition of the line "group
live presented
on-line due to COVID-19" included on the certificate.

NASBA has reached out to many state boards of accountancy for information on their
openness regarding the
acceptance of CPE of events that are changing from in-person events to online events due to COVID-19. NASBA
reports that responses from the boards indicate a willingness to provide flexibility due to these
circumstances. A final decision on acceptance is up to the individual state boards.
